Gadobenate Dimeglumine is a gadolinium-based paramagnetic contrast agent. When placed in a magnetic field, gadobenate dimeglumine produces a large magnetic moment and so a large local magnetic field, which can enhance the relaxation rate of nearby protons; as a result, the signal intensity of tissue images observed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be enhanced. Because this agent is preferentially taken up by normal functioning hepatocytes, normal hepatic tissue is enhanced with MRI while tumor tissue is unenhanced. Additionally, because gadobenate dimeglumine is excreted in the bile, it may be used to visualize the biliary system using MRI. Its therapeutic use is listed as diagnostic agents. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Multihance and Gadobenic acid dimeglumine salt. Its PubChem CID is 6918204.
